...his tortured voice lost in the much grander cries of the world around him.

About This Quote

In the way of the world, we are told to think about what we have and how we can better our lives. Today, however, we tend to look at the world and think only of all that is wrong with it. The idea is that something must be wrong with us if we are so easily taken in by all the problems around us. We look for an answer outside ourselves, but, in reality, it is within ourselves that we must find the answers to what makes the world go around.
